Los Angeles – To complement its already potent veteran lineup, FOX Sports has assembled an All-Star roster of personalities to provide analysis and commentary for its most extensive on-air coverage yet of the American League Championship Series and World Series, it was announced today by FOX Sports Executive Producer John Entz and Scott Ackerson, Executive Vice President Studio Programming, FOX Sports. Coverage of ALCS Game 1 on FOX begins Saturday, Oct. 12 (7:30 PM ET), live from Fenway Park in Boston where the 97-win Red Sox host either the Detroit Tigers or Oakland Athletics.

"This year, with the addition of FOX Sports 1 to our coverage plans, we’ll be able to provide more postseason baseball coverage than ever before, and we’re extremely excited about the possibilities," said Entz. "In order to be thorough, we’ve brought aboard championship-caliber players, former players and reporters we think will provide tremendous insight and analysis."

Beginning with ALCS Games 1 & 2, 2013 National League batting champion Michael Cuddyer joins MLB on FOX pregame host Matt Vasgersian and analyst Harold Reynolds to provide pregame coverage, live from MLB Network's Studio 42 in Secaucus, N.J. Gabe Kapler, a World Champion, MLB on FOX analyst Eric Karros and World Series winner Jimmy Rollins provide postgame analysis via satellite for FOX SPORTS LIVE. In addition to calling each game, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are joined by reporters Ken Rosenthal and Erin Andrews, who contribute postgame analysis and interviews for FOX SPORTS LIVE. FOXSports.com’s veteran baseball writer Jon Paul Morosi provides reports and interviews nightly from the National League Championship Series. Pregame and postgame analysts for ALCS Game 3 and beyond are to be announced.

FOX Sports begins coverage of the 2013 World Series on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from the American League Championship city. Buck and McCarver call their 16th and final World Series together, and are joined by Rosenthal who works his eighth World Series for FOX, while Andrews works her second. This year marks the network’s 18th straight as the television home for postseason baseball and the 2013 Fall Classic will be FOX’s 14th consecutive and 16th overall.

World Series Champion catcher AJ Pierzynski, who joins FOX Sports postseason coverage for a third straight year, teams with Vasgersian, Reynolds and Rollins for every World Series pregame and postgame show on FOX, live from each game site. Following each postgame show on FOX, Pierzynski and Rollins join anchor Ryan Field live from the ballpark for analysis on FOX SPORTS LIVE, with Kapler and Karros on-set in Los Angeles.
